May is Bartok month for the Bournemouth
Symphony Orchestra and tonight is the first of two all-Bartok concerts. Bartok referred to his ballet The Wooden Prince, along with the opera Duke Bluebeard's Castle, as "like two movements of a huge symphony". And if any of the composer's works could be called a bridge from the opera to the ballet it is the Four Orchestral Pieces.
